Picking second year electives?
I'm going into the biochem program ( biotech ) and I'm on my last selection for an elective and Im not sure what to take for the second term

Then I just stopped to think, when we pick our electives are they just any courses we would want to take or should we select electives that are more geared towards our own programs.

So far I have:

Enviro 2W03
Stats 2B03
Biology 2D03
__________??

Any suggestions for my last elective? Or any advice for my current ones?

When they say electives, it means you can choose any course, provided that you meet that course's prerequisites.

Suggestion - maybe a Psych? Dr. Day is pretty awesome, he records his classes so if you miss one it's not a big deal and the workload isn't too bad. Tedious textbook reading though.

electives can be anything (as long as you have prereqs), so if theres something youve always been interested in but has nothing to do with your program you have the opportunity to take it. if youve always been interested in history, or theatre&film or something, this would be your chance to take it.. just go through the undergrad calendar and look at what might interest you ! also look at reviews on macinsiders to get a better idea of what the class is about
